I hate to say this but in all honesty once I overcame the constant RX attacks I settled in nicely here. The SHRINK has gone down the posting path I would never take, and I think the site suffers terribly from his open door policy to all posters. I expressed my concern from jump, but he runs the show. My personal take is the drama queens like Raiders and JJ, BTJ get some hits, but it chases the solid posters away. Guys like Green Doberman and Krackman. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. This place over edits and deletes, the EOG is on the other extreme. He took the right path with the selective books, but I know a lot of posters who just think EOG is JJ and Beantown Jim's world. That is not a good thing. As far as posting picks, those days could be just about gone. I just can't pull off a tofu in good faith, congradulating everyone who won, when I gave out a dud. I never claimed to be a diplomat, I am mostly just a mean FROG. But my claims can always be verified. I am still the modern day Diogenes, looking for the honest forum. Still looking. The BCN event here was an eye opener. I need a forum that backs up it players. That is the bottom line. No advertiser at EOG ever cancelled a legit bet of mine and got away with it. Let's put it this way, I like the posters and people here. Always have. But popularity does not pay the bills. I need some insurance against books stiffing me. The SHRINK and The General have always got my disputes settled right. If I could turn back the clock, I would make it like before, even if The SHRINK and all of the mods attacked me here. It was a hoot. I miss that. Sadly, this is what it has come down to. As my prediction of enemy sites has been fulfilled. A blind man saw that coming. I should not be in the position to take sides of gambling forums. The only sides I want are ones that win. But I hate to hijack Ted's thread of tall tales. Fool me once...
Best Wishes...OF :howdy:
I hope to get paid here soon, for my 3500+ posts. Two shirts. One to vaunted treehouse. I have never been on a payroll here, or there.
